Abstract Purpose The aim is to establish the relationship between carotid susceptibility and microstructural components in diseased carotid arteries. Methods Excised cadaveric carotid arteries (n = 5) were scanned using high‐resolution QSM at 7 Tesla. After ex vivo imaging, all samples were brought to histology and stained for elastin, collagen, cells,

The present study shows that macrophage WEE1 drives NF‐κB activation and inflammatory atherosclerosis by directly phosphorylating p65 at S536. This finding illustrates a macrophage‐specific WEE1‐p65 axis in regulating inflammatory atherosclerosis and points out new directions to broaden the clinical applications for WEE1 inhibitors in atherosclerosis ...

Pharmacology and relevant drug interactions of metamizole
Metamizole is a frequently prescribed analgesic because of its favourable benefit/risk ratio compared with classic NSAIDs. However, increasing research shows that metamizole displays several drug interactions that are relevant to clinical practice. We reviewed the literature to summarize the pharmacology and most clinically relevant drug interactions ...
